Easy planning and the most magical adventure ever!
We have used the tour company Eyes on Africa (EoA) twice now and most lately in February of 2017. Planning the trip was one of the easiest adventures ever! The EoA group is professional, fast, responsive and they never hesitated to accommodate down to every single last detail (I had some dietary conditions). It was an incredibly easy travel package from meeting our guides at the pick-up point, to arriving in the camp, to the adventures that followed.
The trip itself was a magical combination of wonderful 'boutique camping' great beds and pillows in a tent with hot water from outdoor showers all in a natural setting. My boys were ecstatic running around like little goats and exclaimed: "Mama this is more fun than snow!" The food was home-cooked and delicious. The coffee on the escarpment and then returning there for a sundowner was heaven. We went on walks with the local Massai and learned about native medicines, we met local families, we bathed in hot springs, we saw cattle herding and really had a dive into local culture that was not touristy! We also did open safari walks which were fabulous--unequal to any other in Africa. EoA also generously scheduled stays at other safari camps ensuring us the fullest possible holiday experience.
We ended the fabulous visit (where we saw over 15 types of game that will delight the soul and embed memories forever in your children's minds) with a flight to Diane where we stayed on one of the most pristine and beautiful beaches ever!

Went up the mountain with a guide, Came down with a best friend
Going to Africa, you never know what you're going to expect. Worries rattle your mind. "What about this or that?" Rest assured that Pace Maker Adventures was there to make the entire experience unforgettable.
Andrew was the utmost when it came to being a host/guide/expedition company. From the beginning to the end, he was there to hold our hands through every single process. Able to answer any questions with haste, and make your safari/hike with every penny. He was the reason I enjoyed Tanzania. I conquered Kilimanjaro and explored the Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti all within my time in Africa. A truly amazing, unforgettable experience that words can't express but if you were to take a look at my photos you can tell it was timeless.

Lovely place and amazing people
I stayed at Tremisana with Viva Safari.
People working there are really nice and the place is affordable and lovely. I would only say that may be the location is not the best, as you can't see a lot of animals given that the surroundings are dry. But this is nature!
However, compared to other safaris they do have a pick up and drop off service to Johannesburg which makes things easier for people travelling by myself like me! I went to South Africa for business and stayed some extra days for a Safari.. and it's an amazing experience!!!!
May be there are other places in better locations, but the charm of the staff and they way you feel there makes every penny worth to!

Very amaizing
Sam was our driver for our 3-day/2-night Maasai Mara tour and he really made the trip for us. He knew where to find the animals (though I think he got help from the radio call :D). Sam is super friendly, helpful, and is always had a smile. We were fortunate to see so many animals, the big 5 too. We stayed at the Mara Sidai Camp, which served us good food and had very comfortable, clean tents and beds with private bathroom. Our Maasai Mara tour was an unforgettable experience and I have Safaribook Evolution to thank for that. I will definitely recommend Safaribook Evolution and Mara Sidai Camp to all my friends.

Best Budget safari company
Communication between me and Maggie was amazing -she replies emails really fast with clear details.
We got excellent service in the camps and the drivers were very careful and respectful and above all they knew where we would see the animals we were looking for. Our expectations were totally exceeded and even before the start of safari i didn't have any doubt that it was gonna be a great safari .
Much thanks to Maggie -MD Bison safaris for the outstanding advise.
We booked a budget safari but we felt like we enjoyed a 5 star safari. And the Multiingual driver guide (James) came in handy with the German language -That was excellent Maggie .
We would advise anyone to use Bison safaris for your safari needs .

Very professional staff and excellent follow up before during and after the trip.
We had experience Uganda to organize safari, gorilla tracking and a nice resort for relaxing. Our trip from Geneva to Entebbe could have started better not missing connection flight and luggage. However, Experience Uganda followed up and arranged transport of luggage with a small domestic airline to our safari location (Queen Elizabeth national park) upon arrival. They had identified an outstanding guide not only very knowledgeable but also very pleasant. Having been on many safaris before I learnt a lot. The same guide took us to the place of the gorilla tracking and was able to have us in a group tracking a family not close to the departure place (we wanted to walk as well). This was indeed an experience which could now be ticked off the bucket list. Experience Uganda had booked a very nice lodge near Jinja in the middle of the Nile. Here we had different activities we could choose. We took rafting which was very special and great fun. We very very much pleased with the organization and support we had from Experience Uganda. The trip was very well organized and without any hiccups after arrival. Would strongly recommend them.

Fantastic Safari with the best guide and all arrangements was perfect.
Everything worked excellent. Our guide Geoffrey is like a open book. His knowledge about the animals and the national parks is absolutely impressing. Hi is a safe driver and always look after us and had security at first priority. It was only for us to lean back and enjoy :-) We will use the same company next time.

Incredible Maasai Mara Safari
Giving 5 star is not enough to Bison Safaris team as they gave us extraordinary service .Being a group of 30 people they handled us like it was just 2 people -so easy and effective.Thanks for the memorable trip .Great drivers and vehicles and really we enjoyed our stay at Ashnil Mara Camp. the rooms are out of this world and the camp is inside the reserve with great game viewing.
